    my router keeps disconnecting?

    hi there

    i have a belkin 4 port router this 1 which ive been using quite happily along with my blueyonder 1mbit cable for about 2 years but for some reason the past couple of days it keeps disconnecting my 3 computers briefly then reconecting them again

    im not too clued up too well with the routers options but ive reset it back to factory defaults and it still does it randomly sometimes every few mins other times every ten mins.

    im pretty certain its not my isp causing the problem becouse it wouldnt tell me that "a network adapter was unplugged" on all 3 comps @ the same time then "local area connection is now connected" 3 seconds later if it was loss of isp,all my sytems are running win xp and all of my cables are ok too,any help would be greatly appreciated.

    thnx
